Turkish female soprano choir 10 members. What do opera divas think about fashion? Evgenia Fanfara, dramatic soprano

Last Monday in Voronezh concert hall Participants of Mikhail Turetsky's project SOPRANO performed. Nine beauties with unique voices, literally from the first songs captivated the audience with their charm and skill. Voronezh residents heard songs from three eras, not only in Russian, but also in German and English languages. Soviet classics, pop hits, rock compositions - each of the spectators found something for their soul. And the girls’ performance of Anna German’s song “Once a year the gardens bloom” gave everyone, without exception, goosebumps...

Turkish SOPRANO – truly unique music project, which has no analogues in the whole world. Let us recall that seven years ago, when Mikhail Turetsky decided to create a women's team, more than a hundred girls competed for the opportunity to work with the guru of the domestic show business. But only nine were chosen. Of course, the best. Today the SOPRANO group is known not only to the Russian public, but also far beyond the borders of our country. Their concerts are successfully held in China and European countries. By the way, in almost every country girls sing a song in the language of the host country.

“We hope that next year we will still get to Eurovision!

By the way, the girls from Turkish SOPRANO were one of the main contenders to represent our country at the Eurovision Song Contest this year. Even the king of pop music Philip Kirkorov advocated for their participation in the competition. Although other candidates included no less famous Alexander Panayotov, Elena Temnikova, Nyusha... “I paid attention to these girls a long time ago. They are feminine, subtle, delicate, and have an excellent repertoire. When you listen to them, it immediately becomes clear that they have every chance of winning. They deserve to represent our country!” Philip Bedrosovich said not so long ago. He was supported by the poet Mikhail Gutseriev, the lead singer of the group “Accident” Alexey Kortnev, Lolita Milyavskaya, Artur Gasparyan and many others. And indeed, this group with a bright personality could well represent our country with dignity... However, the cards lay out a little differently. First they chose Yulia Samoilova, and when she was declared prohibited from entering Ukraine, our country completely refused to participate in Eurovision 2017.

We, of course, really wanted to participate in Eurovision. We did everything for this, prepared, rehearsed a lot, recorded as many as three songs to choose from (for different tastes - both classical and pop)... But the choice did not depend on us... We really hope that next year we will still get to this competition,” one of the Soprano soloists, a brunette with a piercing and deep gaze, the owner of a driving soprano voice, Daria Lvova, told us.

- What if you were sent? Were you afraid to go to Ukraine?

Daria Lvova: - Yes, that's clear difficult situation. But we still hoped that the music would be international and it would be creative competition. And political strife will fade into the background.

- In concerts you perform songs of three generations. What do you listen to for your soul?

Daria Lvova:- In general, we are “omnivores” and most often listen to the radio. We can turn on radio DFM, and listen to “Chanson”, and “Radio Jazz”, and “Monte Carlo”... Our musical preferences depend on your mood.

“On May 9th we will sing on Reichstag Square!”

We heard that on May 7 in Berlin, on the central Gendarmenmarkt square, a grandiose joint concert of Soprano and the Turetsky Choir will take place, dedicated to the Day Victory. Tell us more about this...

Daria Lvova: - Most of the concert will be sung, of course, by the Turetsky Choir, we will perform only 5-6 songs. Three military and several of our hits. We spent 8 months seeking permission to hold this concert. It wasn't easy! Think for yourself - Russian groups are performing in Berlin, next to the Reichstag, on the eve of May 9! But they approved!

- What language will you sing in?

Evgenia Fanfara: - I think there will be different songs, but mostly, of course, in Russian. By the way, we have a song in German in our repertoire. And the Turkish Choir has Stille Nacht, Schumann they sing very beautifully...

I heard you have songs in almost every language. At least in the languages of the countries where you toured...

Evgenia Fanfara:- Yes, in Chinese, and Italian, and French. We had a cool song in Bulgarian...

- Do languages come easy to you?

Ekaterina Murashko: - In our team, I am responsible for this; I was the one who sang the Chinese song and helped the girls learn the language. I initially learned many languages - I wanted to become a translator. But I had to stop this activity. But now knowledge of languages helps. When we were in China, I took the rap for everyone. And she gave interviews and was the host of the concert. In general, we often sing in Chinese, they ask us to. Yes, and we ourselves are interested in this. But we don’t plan to go to Voronezh. Although...they sang a little on the radio today.

“At night we play hockey with Fetisov and Guberniev!”

Olga Brovkina:- These rumors are true. We are preparing a video congratulation in support of our team at the upcoming World Hockey Championship. This will, of course, be a musical number, but we will have two magnificent men from our sport participating in it, whom everyone loves and knows. This is the incredible Dmitry Guberniev, who commented on our night match, and coach Vyacheslav Fetisov, who will play a very unexpected role in our video - you have never seen him like this before. They are our inspiration! By the way, with Dima Guberniev we already have a joint number that we were preparing for the New Year’s program. We were inspired by him, he by us... In general, we are already creative colleagues. And Fetisov is a friend of our leader Mikhail Borisovich. We are proud that we had the opportunity to meet this man.

- Well, have you learned to play hockey?

Olga Brovkina:- But of course! We learned! I had to freeze and travel with full ammunition. Everything must be for real!

Girls, you are all so beautiful! Tell me, do you have any daily self-care rituals? I heard that Iveta Rogova walks 10 kilometers a day...

Olga Brovkina:- These are not fairy tales, our Iveta really always walks everywhere. Especially when shopping. Today we went to yours shopping center... But in reality, of course, we not only walk, we play sports whenever possible, go to the pool... We try to sleep more, eat healthy food. And, of course, we take care of our face using various cosmetics.

- Doesn’t Mikhail Turetsky oblige you to go to the gym every day, and not “if possible”?

Ekaterina Murashko:- He obliges us to look good, but how we do it is our right.

Evgenia Fanfara:“For the first month he weighed us every day, and then he stopped.

“For so many years we have learned to get around sharp corners”

Not only are you constantly on tour together, but you are also friends in everyday life - you go on quests together, go to the bathhouse, celebrate birthdays. Is there any recipe for how not to get bored of each other?

Daria Lvova: - We have been together for about 7 years, and have learned to get around sharp corners. Of course, sometimes there are quarrels and squabbles between us, we are girls. But we are friends, and we go on vacation together, and have dinner, and lunch, and spend weekends together. Of course, we try to devote time to our family, but most often together.

I read that when you recorded the song “Pilot Ivanov”, a prototype was found. A real pilot named Ivanov called you and offered to use his plane. He not only took you for a ride, but also provided the plane as a backdrop for your concert. What other interesting surprises did you get from fans?

Olga Brovkina:- That’s how it was with the plane. By the way, recently at the hockey stadium where we were filming, a man came up to us and said: “I know the song “Pilot Ivanov!” It turned out that he was a former pilot, and that all the pilots in our country know and listen to this song. As for surprises, just the other day, in Ulyanovsk, a boy artist painted an oil portrait of Zhenya - very beautiful! And he promised to “immortalize” the rest of the girls.

- Zhenya Fanfara had experience filming the series. Were you not invited to the cinema anymore?

Evgenia Fanfara:- They used to call me, I’m still in the actor’s database. But since there is a lot of work, constant tours, I have to refuse. Once they even invited me to film not a series, but full-length film. Once, after filming a video, we were standing with the girls and the director came up to me, took my phone and sent it to email plot of the film. I liked both the plot and the role of the beautiful heartbreaker that was offered to me. But, unfortunately, due to being very busy, I had to refuse.

“Turetsky understands that the main thing for an artist is to be happy like a woman!”

Girls, not so long ago two of your performers, Iveta Rogova and Valeria Devyatova, became mothers. Doesn't anyone else want to follow in their footsteps? How is your personal life, by the way? Are there any who are married?

Evgenia Fanfara:- Lera’s son and Iveta’s daughter are two months apart; they gave birth almost at the same time. True, we still haven’t seen Ivetina’s daughter Edita, although she is already almost 1.5 years old. When we are in Moscow, we ask to bring her to the studio, but somehow everything doesn’t work out. So we follow its development only through photographs. The girl is simply a miracle! Iveta doesn’t invite us over, apparently she’s bored with us at work. And we understand her, she just wants to be with her family. But we often go to Lera’s and babysit her little son.

The rest of our girls are not married yet. Only three - Tomochka recently got married (Tamara Madebadze). So we are waiting for the next replenishment from her. But she’s also a workaholic, so she’ll get to work quickly.

- Does Mikhail Borisovich have anything against marriage and having children?

Olga Brovkina:- No, what are you talking about! Vice versa! He is supportive. He understands the idiocy of such requests. He knows our age and believes that an artist should be happy. And a female artist must be happy like a woman.

- Why don’t Iveta and Lera take their children with them on tour?

Olga Brovkina:- What are you, what are you! Fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers sit with the children. Not any adult can handle such a tour! Today, for example, we left the hotel, sat on a bench and remembered: “When did we just sit like that?” And after the concert we’ll go straight to the train – tomorrow there’s a concert in Krasnodar!

- How long does the tour last?

Evgenia Fanfara: - Differently. Sometimes it's 6 days. This tour was divided into 3 cities. We return to Moscow or fly somewhere else. Just recently we interrupted our tour and flew to London. We had a joint concert there with all the artists. We flew there on one board, on a charter - we, Kirkorov and many, many other artists. It was big concert, which was organized by two radio- Radio"Chanson" and "Russian Radio". Collected all the color Russian stage! First we flew to London, and then with the same lineup to Sochi, where we also had a big concert. We spent 3 days together, and it was so great in this friendly atmosphere!

- When are you planning your vacation?

Evgenia Fanfara: - Oh, this is a sore subject for us. We have a vacation once a year. And only two weeks.

Olga Brovkina:- We are planning to vacation in July, and so far we have only been given 11 days. But we send signals to Space so that there is at least two weeks of rest. Each of us is already thinking about where she will fly or go. Most likely, to the sun, and certainly not together! You need to rest at least sometime!

“Philip is everyone’s friend!”

You recorded duets with Stas Mikhailov, and with Gazmanov, and with Mazaev... Are you planning a collaboration with anyone now?

Evgenia Fanfara:- And also with Bashmet, Rosenbaum, Baskov, Kirkorov, Larisa Dolina... We didn’t record with anyone!

Olga Brovkina:- Just the other day we recorded a duet with Alexander Buinov for “Saturday Evening”. In this program they love us very much and believe that we can sing anything, with any artist. That’s why they come up with various special projects for us. And we don’t mind, we like it. We are always ready to record some songs “on occasion”. We recorded the song “Music is Playing on the Ship” for the anniversary of composer Vyacheslav Dobrynin, and it became a huge success. For Malezhik’s anniversary - the song “Winter-Winter”, a very cool song, a great number. And then some of these numbers smoothly flow into our concert. For example, we sing “Plantations of Love” by Rosenbaum all the time. “Winter-Winter” will also be performed, it’s just not the right time of year. In general, we have an idea - we want to record a new disc, which we will call “Seasons in our way.” All great performers and composers have addressed this topic. Here we are too. Because we already have songs about all seasons!

- You have been on the stage for 7 years already. Can you already call any of the stars of domestic show business friends?

Evgenia Fanfara: - Philippa!

Olga Brovkina:- Well, Philip is everyone’s friend! Philip loves everyone! The real king of our stage. Yes, he is like that in real life! It comes, it shines, and we bask in its rays! In general, our friends are those with whom Mikhail Borisovich is friends. This is Alexander Yakovlevich Rosenbaum, and Larisa Dolina (we took part in her concert, she in ours) But this, of course, is such a creative friendship. And so each of us has our own friends, and mainly among young people - the group “Quadra”, “M-Band”, Sergei Volchkov... Who studied with whom. Some of us are friends with opera singers, someone with pop.

Turetsky in one interview said the following phrase: “I have long and firmly been married to Turetsky’s Choir, and “Soprano” is a mistress. And she knew what she was getting into!” Isn't it a shame to be on the sidelines?

Olga Brovkina:- Ha-ha-ha! This is something interesting! We actually disagree. Mikhail Borisovich is a “polygamist.” In fact, sometimes even the Turetsky Choir is jealous of us: they say they give us more time. And he invests more money in us, and makes videos for us... But we are girls! That's why he pampers us more and tries to protect us from all sorts of problems.

Yesterday I attended an interesting music show. I present to you the new choir of Mikhail Turetsky - “Soprano 10”. The highlight is that the choir consists of women's voices. The idea is very original and the audience really likes it. I took one photo, because... For reasons unknown to me, they strictly forbade filming. But the emotions from the music and the show helped me forget about all sorts of photos.

Today, “The Sopranos” is the only female musical group that has no repertoire restrictions: from “The Daisies Hid” to Mozart’s “Turkish March”, from the classic “Casta Diva” to Freddie Mercury’s all-time hits, from a medley of “ABBA” songs to the musical "The Phantom of the Opera", from favorite Soviet and retro hits to world pop music.

Trembling coloratura (high behind the clouds), alluring mezzo (languidly low), dramatic scattering with pearls, soul-penetrating folk, turning drive upside down, and also funk, rock, jazz, romantic - and all this is “Soprano”. To the superlative tenth degree. Because they can do anything. WITH musical accompaniment and a'capella. And with them is a live band - a red-haired drummer, an unreal pianist and brutal guitarists. The professional biography of the project includes tours in Russia and abroad, the conquered capital, participation as headliners in the most prestigious events, music festivals and fashion parties.

The musical audacity of professionals allows “The Sopranos” to turn their concerts into an unforgettable brilliant show, a significant cultural event - a real holiday. After all, they, together with Mikhail Turetsky, who discovered the “art group” genre in music, continue to promote good musical taste, brightness and talent.

Choir composition:

Jazz mezzo-soprano
TAMARA MADEBADZE

Warm and reliable, like a fire in a fireplace, everyone loves the festive voice of Tamara Madebadze. This is melted chocolate, early warm autumn and bright temperament. Elegance, luxury, and at the same time mischief and a sense of humor are always with her. And her contact and unique flair for the audience determined that it was her entertainment that accompanies the performances of the art group.

Dramatic soprano
EVGENIYA FANFARA

A beauty from Hollywood films, a stylish, original singer with her own exclusive picture of the world. Her voice is soft, like moonlight, intriguing, like a mystery, exciting, like love. And, of course, many more comparisons are appropriate, but it’s better to hear it once.

Romantic soprano
IRINA KIRYANOVA

Do you see that girl, the blue-eyed blonde with a dazzling smile? The one who is not only an excellent vocalist, but also a talented keyboard player? This is Irina Kiryanova. Her sunshine and gentle, smooth voice always set you up for positive emotions and keep you from getting bored.

Lyric soprano
VICTORIA DEREVYANKINA

About myself: sociable, energetic, ambitious

Soul soprano
VALERIYA DEVIATOVA

About myself: to live, not to exist

Folk soprano
ANNA KOROLIK

The real, warm, “summer” soprano of Anna Korolik always impresses with its purity of sound, emotionality and beauty. Is it possible for a voice to convey the coolness of a green forest and the murmur of a stream, the tenderness of a summer night and the enthusiasm of a holiday? Yes, it's possible. If Anya sings it.

Drive soprano
DARIA LVOVA

Piercing eyes, grace and maddening, deep, always memorable vocals - this is Daria Lvova. It is impossible not to notice such a girl. Especially on stage. She sings as if she “breathes,” easily changing genres, moods, and characters.

Mezzo-soprano, electric violin
IVETA ROGOVA

Bright, sultry, daring Latin soprano. The northern capital, where the family moved with little Iveta, did not in any way affect her hot temperament. Graduated from St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Culture, faculty " Musical art pop and artistic communication" with a specialization in "pop-jazz violin", "pop-jazz vocals". She acted in films, worked at Lenconcert, created a rock band, where she sang her own songs. Her voice has the chic of a French cabaret, light jazz, insinuation and sophistication. And when Iveta plays the violin, the atmosphere in the hall is electrified and scatters with sparks from the luxurious instrument in the hands of the luxurious artist.

Coloratura soprano
OLGA BROVKINA

The crystal voice of the team. Her talent was first polished in music school, and then at the Institute of Arts. Serebryakov and the Moscow Academy of Choral Art in the “solo singing” department. Her professional biography includes the best places on music competitions, work in opera companies and solo career. Fragility, blond curls and dimples on the cheeks, combined with the flight of a voice somewhere behind the clouds, always make an unforgettable impression. A modern Turgenev young lady with an independent character, efficiency and a bright personality. A representative of academic vocals, Olya sings with ease in pop works.

To sum it up, I'll say this best show this fall. If Sopranos 10 is on tour in your city, don’t hesitate to go, it’s worth it!

What do the girls from Turetsky's SOPRANO group hide behind their beautiful voices? Especially for you, the site talked to the soloists and found out what they do in their free time and what prospects await their group in the future!

In addition to our voice, we have musical taste and a unique image. We are ready to improve our vocal, choreographic and acting skills every day. It is important for us to devote our entire lives to our work, since each of us is madly in love with the stage! Thanks to her, we are able to communicate with a huge amount people through music!

All the soloists are very different, each performer has her own timbre, vocals, and experience. How do you manage to collect such disparate stories and combine them into one song?

Our “trick” lies in our uniqueness. Thanks to this, the viewer will never be bored. No artist will perform a song like we do. In 3 minutes we tell the stories of several people, and the whole concert turns into a small but intense woman's life. Each of us brings something of our own, unique and real to it!

Tell us about your new program“S... in the Big City,” which viewers will be able to hear and see on February 27 at Barvikha Luxury Village?

We conceived a modern, non-standard and spectacular music show with extraordinary choreography, video, symbolism - playing on the crest of completely different musical phenomena. The concert will feature several original premieres! Nobody has ever seen us like this before.

It is no coincidence that our program is called ambiguously - “S... in the Big City”. On the one hand, she immediately refers us to the heroines of the well-known series “Sex in big city", where smart, beautiful, successful, but completely different women present their story of life and love in the metropolis. On the other hand, “S” stands for Brave, Stylish, Self-sufficient women! What are they? Strong, but vulnerable, capable of loving and talking about it openly. Sisters, daughters, mothers. Stories of female self-sacrifice and passionate love through opera and musicals, jazz and Latin, pop and rock compositions, favorite retro hits and original compositions!

Iveta Rogova (SOPRANO-LATINO, electric violin): Behind every concert number we have a whole life story! We do not sing “empty” songs - only the best, only time-tested music. Imagine, in one evening you will hear real opera voices, plunge into the atmosphere of a musical and hear the famous hits of three generations!

Our repertoire includes music for every taste: classical works, jazz and the cream of pop music. Those who come to the concert for the first time will be pleasantly surprised by our repertoire, but we have also prepared many new songs for loyal fans.

How is yours created? music program? How are songs selected and rehearsed?

Valeria Devyatova (SOUL SOPRANO): Every new concert program We carefully plan: we rehearse for a long time, analyze the experience of previous performances, after that we leave the most beloved and long-known to the public, but also include premieres in the repertoire. Now we perform a lot of original songs.

Anna Korolik (FOLK-SOPRANO): We are never disconnected from the process. It happens that a musical idea comes where you are not expecting it and begins to “absorb”. A song is like a child - you need to endure it, give it the opportunity to mature inside you, and only then does it turn out to be a truly strong composition.

Iveta Rogova (SOPRANO-LATINO, electric violin): We rehearse every day and during the creative process many ideas are born collectively. We have a whole team working on the repertoire: there is a sound producer who selects the repertoire, but we ourselves actively participate, offer, and, of course, Mikhail Turetsky is always nearby. We are open and ready for dialogue and creative proposals, both within the team and outside it, the main thing is that the music is of high quality and worthy.

Recently, your group sang especially for patients of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital, what is it like to sing for little patients?

Olga Brovkina (SOPRANO COLORATURA): This was not the first time we performed for children. But every time it is a special event, very exciting. It is a huge honor and responsibility to perform for sick, or better yet, recovering children, so different, but fighting for their future and their lives. They are strict and truthful spectators, ready to accept sincerity, they are open and express their emotions directly and freely. When you look at the reactions and smiles of children, at how they are ready to start dancing, no matter what, how they believe in every word, in every note - you give them even more - your emotions, your skill, your voice! It is all the more pleasant to receive applause, admiration, smiles and a desire to participate and go on stage in response. I so want to learn from them faith in miracles, limitless power, I want to look into the future with the same bright, open gaze! Each of us wished strength and health to every patient of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital, parents and doctors who do such an important job, performing miracles every day. Such an audience is dear to our women's hearts! I hope we were able to give everyone inspiration and faith!

The idea to dedicate the upcoming big concert to children from the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital arose just after the performance in the assembly hall of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital. We felt so strongly about these guys that we decided to use the proceeds from ticket sales for their treatment.

Tell us about your life outside "SOPRANO Turkish". Do you communicate after rehearsals?

Anna Korolik (FOLK-SOPRANO): We are already like a family, because we see each other more often than our closest relatives. Of course, we communicate closely with each other, work and relax together. We support each other in difficult times and rejoice in successes. Together we go to concerts, exhibitions, quests, to the gym and even to the bathhouse!”

Daria Lvova (SOPRANO-ENERGY): However, we also have an unspoken rule during long tours together - “an hour of silence”. This is the time when we don’t talk to each other - we save our voices so that we are in the best shape by the evening. These are the paradoxes - we call each other when we are in different parts of the city or even the world, but we can remain silent next to each other.

How do you spend your free time? Tell us about your interests and hobbies.

Anna Korolik (FOLK-SOPRANO): For me the most best vacation− outdoor recreation, forest, pond. Sometimes you just want to be alone and away from the hustle and bustle.

Evgenia Fanfara (DRAMATIC SOPRANO): I really like to cook, and I’m pretty good at it. I also had experience working in films. It was an unforgettable experience! The world of cinematography fascinates me so much! I really want to learn how to drive a bike AND also play the guitar. I really love working, I love the time I spend there. But it happens like this tour schedule, after which you need to find yourself in a completely different biorhythm. You can have a great time outside the city in nature, read a book, play with your pets, or just be with yourself. Of course, I love relaxing by the sea, lying in the sun, and getting to know a new culture.

Iveta Rogova (SOPRANO-LATINO, electric violin): Spend time with family, read good book, wandering alone - all that is rare given our rhythm of life and busy schedule. I love to cook. I make dietary desserts for the girls, they like them. I draw portraits, make progress in sports. I probably could do a lot of things, but I’m only interested in what’s related to my profession.

Tamara Madebadze (JAZZ-MEZZO SOPRANO): We have a very busy schedule! Therefore, it is simply necessary to rest and recover! On weekends, first of all, I prefer to get enough sleep. The mandatory program includes massages and other procedures to maintain beauty and health. Of course, I meet my family; nothing can replace communication with loved ones! I also really love the sea and travel, but such a vacation can only be afforded on vacation. I devote my whole life to music and performing arts, which includes not only singing, but also a whole range of skills that need to be improved. In addition, any activity takes time. Today I started learning the saxophone!

Daria Lvova (SOPRANO-ENERGY): Of course, I always dream about the sea, sand, and sun, but this comes true only once a year. We are looking for every opportunity to relax with family and friends. I love photography, I think I’m pretty good at it.

Valeria Devyatova (SOUL SOPRANO): In my free time I play on my nerves (laughs). The best vacation is in the company of your favorite friends, and where and what to do does not matter, the main thing is together.

Olga Brovkina (SOPRANO COLORATURA): Finding an outlet, entertainment, and interest for yourself is always easy, especially with so many trips and different places that we have the good fortune to visit. I love cross stitch, it is calming and I love the effect when stitch by stitch something whole and beautiful appears. And time, attention, and soul are invested in each element. When you embroider, it is impossible to think about bad things! Recently I have been a car enthusiast - I want to learn how to drive well, I hope to show the talent in this, which should be inherited from my dad! Another big hobby is collecting shoes. I bring them from all my trips. If I don’t find souvenirs, I just buy myself new shoes. Well, and of course, photography. I love my camera and phone, and I'm an avid Instagram user. I think this is the most the best way capture the events!

Your band was formed by Mikhail Turetsky in 2009 as the first vocal project. What has changed over these 5 years? IN lately You perform compositions that are known to everyone, are you going to continue to adhere to this style in the future?

Olga Brovkina (SOPRANO COLORATURA): One of the most discussed topics is the change in the name and number of soloists. Initially there were ten girls working in the team, now there are seven. At the same time, we managed to maintain versatility in terms of the vocal capabilities of the group as a whole. There are fewer of us, but the quality has not suffered from this. For some time we were looking for something unusual, some kind of extraordinary paint, tried to work with different vocalists, experimented. Now the artists from the original cast remain in the project. Apparently, we were firmly in sync. When there are 10 soloists in a group, it is not easy for each of them to fully present their talent within one concert. Today we have come to the conclusion that 7 is the ideal ratio.

Anna Korolik (FOLK-SOPRANO): 2014 was, in a sense, a turning point for us. Over the past six months, the team has made a powerful leap towards original songs and achieved high results. Last year we performed our compositions at festivals" New Wave" and "Song of the Year". Duet songs have also been recorded with Stas Mikhailov, Alexander Revva, Boris Moiseev, Sergei Mazaev, Oleg Gazmanov, Roberto Kell Torres. Now we will probably focus on this, because performing your own music means , leave an even greater mark on history.

Evgenia Fanfara (DRAMATIC SOPRANO): Last year, the name of the project changed from “Soprano10” to “Turetsky’s SOPRANO”. There are several reasons. The public identified the number in the name with the number of participants, although the ten in the name of the group suggested a superlative degree to which the perfection of women's voices was raised. When the number of project participants began to change, questions began to arise. Bearing in mind that there are the world-famous Pyatnitsky Choir, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, and the Turetsky Choir, in the end, our maestro came to the conclusion that a women's project, like a men's project, should carry a certain distinctive sign of quality, an author's brand. This is how the name “SOPRANO Turkish” was born.

You actively tour our country, give concerts, participate in photo shoots and other events; Share with our readers your secrets of beauty in a busy work environment?

Valeria Devyatova (SOUL SOPRANO): We are convinced that a woman, and especially an artist, should be beautiful, slim and healthy. We try to exercise regularly and go to the pool. By the way, this year everyone can follow us during training - we decided to post real-time photos from the sports club on our Instagram: @sopranoturetskogo. This spurs us on and is interesting to the fans. We always monitor our nutrition, even on tour! In our dressing rooms you will never see unhealthy foods: sausages, carbonated drinks, buns, and, of course, alcohol. Only fruit, drinking water, cheese and fish.

Olga Brovkina (SOPRANO COLORATURA): In fact, each of us has an individual approach to food and beauty, our own secrets regarding which foods are best to exclude to preserve our figure, what cosmetic procedures to perform, etc.

Iveta Rogova (SOPRANO-LATINO, electric violin): We give our best during performances, and during rehearsals we also experience significant physical exertion. In general, after the main line-up of the group was established, “Turetsky’s SOPRANO” lost 50 kilograms!

Who are your main listeners - men or women? What city tours What do you remember most?

Tamara Madebadze (JAZZ-MEZZO SOPRANO): Oddly enough, both men and women love us. Often even wives invite their husbands to our concerts. We are not just singing girls, we are first and foremost artists with serious professional musical education and stage experience. There is a certain balance, the line beyond which we do not go beyond. In modern show business, where, unfortunately, all bets are placed on aggressive sexuality, a woman’s attractiveness is lost. We do not follow this trend. We have something to say to our audience and nothing should distract them from the main thing - art!

the site wishes the soloists creative success. And the team "Turetsky's SOPRANO" invites you to the show "S... in the Big City"!

Many people know such a wonderful group as the “Turetsky Choir”, as well as new project its illustrious leader called SOPRANO. Let's get to know their participants better.

"Turetsky Choir", the composition of which will be presented below - Russian music group, led by M. Turetsky. The uniqueness of the group is that its ten vocalists represent the entire diversity of male singing voices. The Turetsky Choir performs various a cappella compositions in ten languages and can easily replace an entire orchestra with its voices.

The ancestor of the illustrious group should be considered the choir at the Moscow synagogue, where in the late eighties Turetsky’s group delighted listeners with the performance of liturgical Jewish compositions. And now at the performances of the “Turetsky Choir” they sound both world hits in unusual arrangements and songs of their own composition.

SOPRANO is a female project by M. Turetsky, consisting of 9 wonderful soloists, selected as a result of a serious casting from hundreds of applicants. The group consists, like the Turetsky Choir, of all the diversity singing voices, only in this case female: from coloratura soprano (the highest) to mezzo (the lowest).

In addition, each of the soloists has her own singing style: from academic to jazz and folk. That’s why SOPRANO’s repertoire includes rock, retro, classics, jazz, and modern music. Along with hits, the female composition of the “Turetsky Choir” also performs original songs. Let's imagine charming girls:

Daria Lvova - academic performance.
Anna Korolik - folklore genre.
